(2) A maximum operating pressure (inner vessel) of 250 PSIG.

(3) An external tank mounted atmospheric vaporizer with a capacity to provide up to 2000 SCFH of nitrogen gas and associated components.

(4) A pressure building coil and regulator circuit and associated components.

(5) An economizer regulator circuit and associated components.
